Ji Ning had never unfolded the sixth layer of the Small Thousand Swords Formation. In the past, when he was in the Water Mansion, he had already reached his limit at the fifth layer. However, after gaining enlightenment from the "Nine Volumes of Array Formations", Ji Ning's unfolding of the Small Thousand Swords Formation became more adept at adapting to circumstances and guiding them to his advantage. Previously, unfolding the fifth layer was very easy for him, and he felt that although the sixth layer was difficult, he had a chance of succeeding.
"It must succeed, failure is death!" Ji Ning exerted his utmost control, and the 486 sword artifacts were all floating around him. The key 'swords' of this Small Thousand Swords Array were controlled by Ji Ning's divine sense, while the others were gradually led by them. For a time, the 486 sword artifacts seemed to be undulating like waves.
Although it was difficult, a faint white light appeared on all 486 swordsmanship techniques and treasures.
"Done!" Ji Ning was still fending off the poisonous insects, getting bitten by them from time to time, and dodging the black-haired zombie's pursuit from behind. But Ji Ning was incredibly excited! Relying on his achievements in array techniques, he had managed to execute the Small Thousand Swords Array's sixth layer.
"Kill!" Ji Ning stared crazily at Beizi Shan who was far away on the boat.
A strand of sword energy, condensed to the extreme and sharper than ever, instantly followed Ji Ning's will, like a meteor, streaking across the sky, with an unstoppable momentum, directly attacking that Ba Zi Shan.
"Die!" The good son of the boat, Zhangzi, was also waving a blood-red flag.
The flag waves once.
The surroundings had all darkened, and only a few visible fierce ghosts flew out. These fierce ghosts were the strong ones left over from the previous large-scale killing and devouring of each other, and after being nurtured by the magical treasure "Bu Fan", they became even stronger. This was just a semi-finished product; if it were to be fully refined, that would truly be terrifying.
Even so, with this semi-finished treasure of a method, Bo Zi Shan is still enough to look down on the vast majority of Zongheng's disciples.
"Roar!!"
"Kill!"
"I'm going to eat you!"
Innumerable vengeful spirits were extremely ferocious, emitting ear-piercing screams, and after passing through the fabric of space, these vengeful spirits could already produce sounds! They flew towards Jining in a flurry of intersecting currents at an extremely fast speed. Of course, compared to the sword tips of Jining's small thousand swords array, the sword tips were still a bit faster.
"Hahaha." Bó Zǐ Shàn held a duster, which transformed into 3,000 white silk threads that frantically blocked the attack. However, this sword aura was much more powerful than before and pierced through the layers of defense. In a panic, Bó Zǐ Shàn even used his single hand to grab the handle of the blood-red banner to block the sword aura directly.
Jian Mang's sword was too fast, and Bo Zi Shan barely managed to touch the tip of the sword.
The sword tip struck the staff handle, and the entire crimson banner was slightly shaken. The sword's power suddenly became even weaker, and when it hit the black robe transformed from the treasure armor on Mozi Shan's body, it barely left a black dot on the robe before disappearing.
"Luckily I blocked it, or it would have pierced my body and taken my life." Baizi Shan was also startled, the fight between Zifu disciples was always a matter of life and death, one careless move and you'd lose your life. "Hmph, now that he's being torn apart by the fierce ghosts, he can't even focus on casting his sword aura anymore. Being torn apart by so many fierce ghosts, he's definitely going to die."
Bo Zi Shan was very confident, even if he was torn and bitten by these fierce ghosts, he would still die.
……
Ji Ning watched as the dense, numerous fierce ghosts flew towards him with a shrill whistle, but his expression didn't change in the slightest. These fierce ghosts easily pierced through the six-layered Water Fire Lotus, and as ghostly spirits, things like weapons or the Water Fire Lotus were fundamentally unable to block them.
"I'm going to eat you."
"Eat."
Innumerable vengeful spirits rushed in instantly, and in an instant, they submerged Ji Ning. Each of them charged frantically into Ji Ning's body.
"It's all over." But then his face changed, because the blood-red flag in his hand began to tremble, and the aura of the flag was also weakening, apparently its power was constantly decreasing. "What's going on? How, how can this be?"
Bo Zi was shocked and angry.
This cloth banner was his trump card, invincible! But now the banner's aura is constantly weakening, representing the decline of this treasure's power, and the foundation of this treasure is those fierce ghosts... There is only one possibility, a large number of fierce ghosts have died!
"How is that possible? A fierce ghost is a soul filled with evil energy, and no weapon can stop it. The fierce ghosts also devour the opponent's soul. Countless fierce ghosts couldn't even consume his soul?" Baizi Shan couldn't believe it, even if it was a Zifu cultivator who feared that they wouldn't be able to hold on to their soul for long before being torn apart and devoured.
……
Ocean of Knowledge
Ji Ning's soul dwelled here, a large number of fierce ghosts rushed in frantically, letting out shrill howls as if they wanted to devour him.
"What to do?" Ji Ning was also shocked, sensing countless fierce ghosts rushing into the Sea of Consciousness. The soul was the foundation, and without it, even reincarnation would be impossible. And Ji Ning had never had any experience with soul-killing before.
"Nuwa Picture." Ji Ning thought of Nuwa Picture at once.
Only the sea of knowledge, a white-robed Ji Ning sat cross-legged, and at the same time, a statue of Nüwa appeared in front of him. Nüwa stood there as if she had become eternal, and even the passage of time could not erase her in the slightest. Her eyes were filled with sorrowful and protective intentions, just like a mother's gaze. She also emitted endless light, enveloping everything around her.
When a group of ferocious ghosts rushed over, they were enveloped by the endless light of Nüwa Niangniang. Soon, the evil aura on their bodies dissipated, and each of them revealed a happy and peaceful smile on their faces.
They all showed gratitude to Ji Ning one by one, some bowed their heads in thanks, and others knelt down in gratitude.
Then one by one disappeared and went directly to the underworld to be reincarnated.
A large number of fierce ghosts came one after another, but they were all dispelled by the true body of Nüwa Niangniang, and once the ghost lost its evil spirit, it could no longer stay in the mortal world and had to go to the underworld.
Ji Ning's soul was already at the level of a True Immortal, and even if he didn't conjure up Nüwa, with the intensity of his soul, these fierce ghosts would not be able to destroy him... After all, that treasure was only half-finished, and it could only deal with Purple Mansion cultivators. It was still insufficient to deal with a True Immortal.
In that case, Ji Ning would have to rely on the strength of his own soul to destroy those fierce ghosts one by one.
Ji Ning thought of Nüwa Niangniang, and instead, they all broke free from their reincarnation, which was a great merit.
……
It seems slow but is actually done in an instant.
Ji Ning was not afraid of the countless fierce ghosts rushing into his body and tearing at his soul, but instead stared at Bo Zi Shan in the distance and let out a roar: "Kill!"
Pffft! Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!
A strand of sword energy shot out, followed by another strand of sword energy... A total of four strands of sword energy all rushed towards Buzi Shanzhen. These four strands of sword energy had almost completely consumed the innate true yuan within Ji Ning's body, and the remaining thread of true yuan was unable to be used again, which was also Ji Ning's all-out attack.
"How is this possible, how can a young man not fear the biting of ten thousand ghosts?" Baizi Shan still couldn't believe it, holding the blood-red banner in his hand. When he saw those sword lights shooting towards him, he was even more frightened and wanted to control the boat to escape.
How can the degree of a boat's speed compare with the degree of a sword's sharpness?
Bozi Shan was in a flurry, exerting all his strength to parry and block, swinging his hands to deploy the banner to resist, but just as he barely managed to deflect the first sword gleam, the second sword gleam drew an arc and directly pierced through the black robe transformed from the armor of his body's treasure, stabbing into his body.
Hiss! Hiss!
The other two sword threads also instantly penetrated his skull and neck, a hole appeared in the center of his forehead, and his neck was completely cut off, his head flying.
"Impossible......" Bo Zi Shan's face still had an expression of disbelief.
The black-haired zombie in the distance also stopped, with a confused and puzzled look in its eyes. The poisonous insects that had been attacking Ji Ning and had lost many of their companions due to the Water Fire Lotus Flowers retreated quickly. Without their master's orders, they naturally dispersed.
Ji Ning then put away his sword and treasure, his eyes filled with a mixture of astonishment and incredulity: "I... I killed a Violet Palace cultivator? Successfully?"
Just at this time ——
The corpse of the good son on the boat was falling, and when it fell, a golden light suddenly flew out from his body. With Ning's eyesight, he saw at a glance... It was a golden worm!
"What is that?" The corpse suddenly flew out a golden worm? Ji Ning felt shocked and puzzled, and also felt that something was off. He had the feeling that he couldn't let the golden worm fly away... But his innate True Yuan was depleted, and his Water Fire Lotus Flower couldn't reach such a far distance.
"Wow~~~~"
Suddenly the whole sky changed from day to night, and the dark night was filled with countless twinkling stars. The numerous stars were like a river of stars flowing in the sky. Among the countless stars, there was also a huge round moon floating, and the moonlight enveloped the sky. The gentle moonlight also fell on the golden insect that was flying away in a hurry.
The golden insect looked very flustered and frightened, flying hastily as if wanting to escape.
Suddenly, the gentle moonlight condensed into a large hand. This moonlit big hand gently pinched that golden worm. The golden worm was even more frightened and cried out: "Spare my life, spare my life."
"Snap!" The moonlight's large hand gently pinched, and the golden worm was crushed into powder.
The countless stars and bright moon in the dark night suddenly disappeared, and the sky returned to its previous daytime.
"This... this is..." Ji Ning stood there with a shocked face, "Xīng Chén Wàn Xiàng... is the True Immortal of the Myriad Realms, the True Immortal of the Myriad Realms!"
"You're too careless." Suddenly, a man in a green robe with long hair flying behind him appeared in the distance, his face smiling as he flew swiftly towards them. "You worked hard to kill that Benzi Shanshen, but almost let him escape by borrowing the body of his Benming Huanchong. Benzi Shan is good at raising insects, so naturally he would raise a Benming Huanchong. To kill him, you must also kill his Benming Huanchong. What a pity to have come so close only to fail."
Ji Ning realized he had met a big shot. In the Yan Mountain area, there was no one as extraordinary as Wanxiang Zhenren. He immediately bowed and paid his respects: "Ji Ning has seen Senior."
